One of the stupidest decisions on #NACC was dropping the investigation into former Commissioner Breretion because he resigned. It's almost as if the government and those associated with this agency are determined to learn nothing from past mistakes. Which means they will change nothing. #auspol
Crikey@crikey.com.au · 12h agoThe NACC was asked to examine allegations involving a senior naval officer and lucrative military contracts, but it chose to hand the case back to Defence for investigation. www.crikey.com.au/2026/08/07/n...
“The Albanese gov wrote the verdict into the terms of reference, then spent more than the banking royal commission to have a judge read it back…Commissioning an alibi…Albanese promised it would deliver…’the right outcome.’ A PM announcing the right outcome in advance is commissioning an alibi.”
This is bad news. It means continuation of the situation that either we, taxpayers, have to pay for decommissioning and cleanup or (more likely) it won't be done. Cleanup is the responsibility of the project proponents & should be guaranteed before ANY project can start. #Auspol

"The party has changed, and one of the things that's happened in the party is we are more cohesive, more united than we've ever been before," – Anthony Albanese, Prime Gaslighter. Yeah, shutting down debate and expelling anyone who crosses the floor is bigly cohesive. #AusPol

Genocide, the word Albanese and Wong will never utter
By refusing to name genocide in Gaza, the Labor government avoids the legal and moral obligations that would follow – but not the shame of complicity.
